        Why the fuck is the are cars like the golf, 206 etc the size of a Passat from 20ish years ago.

        Why is BMW building a fat front wheel drive called the 2 series.

        Why can’t VAG produce anything quality it doesn’t matter if it’s a Skoda or an Audi they’ve all tuned into low quality shit.

        Why are reasonable midsized cars in Europe now crossover SUV’s?

        Basically it boils down to everything has gotten big, fat, and overpriced have you even seen a Polo?

        Fuck the entire German car industry they’ve betrayed what made people like them to chase trends and extra profits

        And finally fuck me because I own two VW’s and Two BMW’s

          I own a Honda Fit. It’s small, is reasonably petrol efficient, has actual dials and physical knobs for an interface, and needs just basic maintenance to run reliably.

          Of course they’ve been discontinued in Canada.

              Sure wish we were a province of the United States. Then nobody would be buying pickup trucks as passenger vehicles! I mean, who in America has a pickup truck in their driveway?

            They’ve been discontinued is the important part, anything decent gets discontinued.

            It seems Toyota is about the only car company building anything interesting. Akio Toyoda is this generations Bob Lutz or Ferdinand Piëch

              I’d buy another one. The Fit is a fantastic economy car. I want an EV, but older cars don’t track. That’s more important to me than the convenience of an EV.

              Toyota is betting on hydrogen instead of electric for some stupid fucking reason.

                Electric works fine in industrialized suburban blahsville but it doesn’t work well outside of it. Toyota dominates in the non industrial nations so it needs to remain flexible, I wish more auto companies would do blue sky type research
